My husband and I love Thai food, but going out on weeknights can be challenging with busy schedules. I wanted to create a Thai-inspired dinner that could double as an easy lunch the following day. The beef is fantastic in this dish, but chicken or pork would be equally delicious!—Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Can you freeze Pressure-Cooker Thai Coconut Beef?

Place cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, gently stirring and adding a little broth or water if necessary.


Test Kitchen tips
  • Red curry paste, a combination of Asian spices (like lemongrass, lime leaves, etc.), can add a great flavor punch to your dishes. Look for it in the ethnic aisle of your grocery store.

    Directions

    1. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for high heat. Add oil; add one roast half. Brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove; repeat with remaining beef.
    2. Return beef to pressure cooker; add red pepper. In a bowl, whisk coconut milk with next six ingredients; pour over meat. Lock lid; make sure vent is closed. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 35 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Add sugar snap peas; return to full pressure, and cook 5 minutes. Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
    3. Remove beef; cool slightly. Skim fat from cooking juices. Shred beef with two forks. Stir in cilantro. Serve with rice and toppings of your choice.
